Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 5 verse 29


Chapter 5 verse 29

“Knowing Me as enjoyer of sacrifices and austerities; the great Lord of all worlds, the friend of all beings, he attains peace”

Throughout this chapter, Krishna enumerates the power of performing actions with the attitude of renunciation of the fruits of the action and detachment from the doer ship itself. He started this chapter with the saying that renunciation of action and performance of action are one and the same if we realize the attitude with which the action needs to be performed to develop complete detachment from desires. He concludes the chapter with a hard hitting message that all sacrifices, austerities and/or any action performed ultimately reaches Him. If this is realized, the person attains eternal peace.
